Notes

Waffles are part of a conspiracy to take over the world.

None

+ Waffles appear in quite a number of places.

+ Ads for waffles, waffle makers, and restaurants known for waffles have even been known to appear on this very page. See for yourself. Coincidence?- McDonalds and Starbucks are everywhere, but they're not after world domination.

+ McDonald's doesn't serve waffles. As for Starbucks, opinion is divided as to their ultimate intentions for the world.

• Kaito is opposed to them, and is also, possibly, opposed to Linderman's actions. Perhaps he said he would not like waffles because he knows that Linderman is somehow using them to influence the population.- Waffles aren't evil.

+ However, experts have reached the consensus that waffles are corrupted by evil.

- Said experts have been exposed as operatives of the International House of Pancakes.

+ The deadly biological weapon Northrax smells like maple syrup.• Waffles taking over the world wouldn't be such a bad thing would it?

• I'll say.

- Some people like pancakes so waffles have to get rid of pancakes first.

Waffles augment evolved humans' powers.

Both Hiro and Claire eat waffles before using their power. (Hiros, Collision)

+ This might also explain why Charlie works at Burnt Toast Diner - she can get free waffles to strengthen her enhanced memory.

• Her power got her killed.

• She didn't know it was going to happen.

+ The power of waffles might be the reason Sylar takes the precaution of freezing James Walker before removing his brain. He could have mistakenly thought the latter was eating a waffle.

+ This is true as Sylar could smell waffles. Molly ate all the waffles for herself (leaving James with breakfast cereal) which augmented her power.

+ Nearly all manifestations, whether in present-time or hundreds of years ago, occurred right after an eclipse. And what shape is an eclipse... WAFFLE-shaped!

• Possibly the eclipses haven't involved the moon at all. It could be a giant waffle getting between the sun and the earth, and thus using solar power to augment its own abilities. Thus it manages to magnify and awaken people's abilities all over the world, rather than just the people eating waffles at the time.

- Waffles are traditionally square in shape.

+ But round waffles are tastier.

Waffles are tasty.

None

+ Hiro admits having eaten waffles, and likes them. His father has admitted to not eating waffles, and doesn't like them.

+ Everyone loves waffles.• This is a matter of opinion. There are some who feel waffles aren't tasty.

When Claire was removing freshly baked muffins from the oven in Better Halves, her power was weakened enough for her to feel pain.

+ Muffin backing within the Bennet household is likely part of Mr. Bennet's plan to conceal Claire from the Company.

- When West and Claire discuss their abilities, Claire says she still feels pain.- When Claire reached down the sink to grab her ring and had her hand cut up, her face showed a very pained expression.- HEY! Muffins are tasty! (Just like waffles!)• Not as tasty as waffles. Not even close.• Waffles augment powers and muffins weaken, therefore a giant waffle came across the sun for the eclipse the first time, whilst a giant muffin came across in The Eclipse parts 1&2.+ When Hiro and Ando tried to rescue Muffin Man, Ando was unable to use his powers, and Hiro's malfunctioned.

+ The immediate apprehension of Eden shows the Company's concern over donut consumption.

- Donuts work for Matt, because he was a cop %D- We don't know how waffles would have affected Parkman; perhaps he would have developed even greater powers.- Waffles are the edible equivalent of Mr Muggles. They can never be defeated and are omnipotent.- It took a dozen donuts to accomplish what one single waffle could do.

The reason we never see Hiro's waffles is that he is wholly unimpressed by them and is convinced that there must be truly incredible waffles out there. His search will lead him to Belgium ca. WWII where he will become the inspiration for the Flemish comic book character, Nero.

None

• Everybody knows the best waffles are in Belgium, not America.

- Hiro's favorite is American-style chicken and waffles.• Those were Hiro's preferences when he was ten years old. It is possible, and even likely that his tastes matured over time to the point that such simple fare would no longer satisfy the Hunger (for waffles).

Waffles allow one to achieve a euphoria sensation.

None

+ Hiro admits having eaten waffles and enjoys them.

• A possible reason Isaac was able to stay clean of heroin was because he used waffles as a substitute.

- Hiro may have ordered a deep-fried Volkswagen off-screen, but there's no proof that he did. (Did you see any waffles there?)

+ Deep-fried Volkswagens are not tasty; waffles are.

- There is no evidence that Hiro ordered either waffles or a Volkswagen.

+ He found Molly and her parents as they were eating waffles for breakfast. However, Molly ate all the waffles before Sylar could harness their power and this actually caused Molly to gain her power. (Don't Look Back)

+ Hiro's excess waffle consumption lead to his father locating him and attempting to stop his journey to save the world. (The Fix)+ When Claire got a message from West saying he could smell waffles she was scared. This isn't because she thought Noah and West would meet, but because The Company could now find them. (Out of Time)+ Noah Bennet rushed home smelling waffles. His obvious concern was that the Company would be able to locate them. Later the Company confirmed they had located Claire by sending Mohinder. (Out of Time)

Waffles are in fact completely inanimate foodstuffs which, apart from often being eaten and referenced to as being yummy, have next to no storyline significance and do not "control all".

Waffles do not seem to object to being destroyed (eaten) nor do they talk or control anyone.

+ Waffles are not alive.

- That's what they want you to think.

- Waffles may have a modified version of invisibility that hides who they are controlling.- This is likely disinformation created by waffles to avoid exposure.- Or it could be propaganda put forth by anti-waffle extremists.

• She was probably too busy messing around with her stupid snow globes to learn proper waffle-making technique.

The catalyst is merely the "essence of waffle", built up by eating tens of thousands of waffles.

None

+ The catalyst is the same color as a waffle. + Waffles are a favorite of many powerful characters, indicating they may help create powers. + Hiro may love waffles so much because they remind him of his mother.+ Hiro's mother may have been sick from eating only waffles for years.

- Waffles are nutritious. If anything, they prolonged her life.

+ Adam Monroe/Takezo Kensei only showed his powers after meeting Hiro, whose love of waffles is most likely unequaled.+ Then the Company made it with another evolved human (or dog that we call Mr.Muggles) who can turn different kinds of one food (aka any flavor of waffles)) into soul of waffle,which contain power equal to that of ablity why the heck essence of it if they are living and have mighty powers.

• Say what?

Waffles is Niki and Tracy's sister Barbara.

None

+ The likeness to Ali Larter is uncanny.

• Someone needs corrective lenses.

- Waffles have no gender.- A person cannot have food for a sibling.

• Unless the person is a cannibal, of course.

• Or are waffles disguised as evolved humans.

+ They are all blonde.+ Neither Niki nor Tracy, nor any of their relations, have been seen eating waffles, clearly in defiance of cannibalism.

Sylar has a deep craving for waffles, but he doesn't know how to express it. So he kills people instead.

Sylar has never been seen eating a waffle.

+ When Sylar eats a waffle, the hunger will be satisfied.+ Exposed Future Sylar seems to have discovered the awesomeness of waffles, and he doesn't kill anymore.

Danko is cranky and hates people with abilities because he hasn't experienced the taste of waffles.

Danko is never seen eating waffles.

• Maybe if Danko eats waffles, he will stop hunting people with abilities.

+ It's so simple that nobody figured it out in the outbreak future. That's why the mankind almost became extinct.

+ Angela was alive in the outbreak future. Because of her ability she might have found the way to survive.+ The invisible waffles are kept in the Company's vault because they are the antidote to the virus.

Waffles are the reason Charlie couldn't be saved.

None

+ She works at a place that serves waffles. If waffles wanted to save her, she would have been saved.

- Waffles are benevolent.

+ That's what they want you to think.

• If Hiro couldn't save her, it is because a greater force (rifts)(waffles) doesn't wanted her to be saved.+ As waffles augments people's abilities, they augmented Charlie's memory until the point it was prejudicial and fatal.- Waffles are good. It's rather the evil chilaquiles.- Charlie has been saved, thanks to Hiro (a waffle connoisseur if there ever was one).

• Pancakes are not evil, but not nearly as powerful as waffles; thus, they are easily dominated by evil-doers. Their powers are limited to syrup absorption and counteracting the negative effects of chilaquiles.

+ Samuel was afraid that waffles would thwart his plans and reveal his true nature to the world.+ Evil characters do not like waffles, and vice-versa.
